Total newb here and I have a problem that I'm hoping someone can help me
with. I've created a relatively simple design using basic shapes and each
time I print it out there are noticeable jagged lines. My understanding was
that vector graphics produce a smooth appearance when printed? I'm using a
commercial grade graphic arts color laser printer that can print a 200dpi
TIFF or JPG image beautifully, yet when I try to print what seems to be a
simple design in Illustrator I can't get near the same results. Any ideas?
